At the club, at the bar, or just in your mom's basement, nighttime is when you come out to play. Rate this thread to express how the Google Pixel 2 XL's camera performs when no or low light is present. A higher rating indicates that the camera sensor "sees" lots of light in dim conditions, and that the resulting photos have minimal noise. A higher rating also indicates that when the flash fires, the resulting photo is evenly-lit without any bright spots.

as I know the first pixel xl has aperture 2.0. the new one has the same or better ?
I am noticing a brown tint to pictures taken in low light... Anyone else?
Some quick shot from a walk in the park:

The older pixel has a 2.0 aperture and the new Pixel 2 has a 1.8 aperture however in the pixel 2 the actual sensor got slightly smaller. It essentially lets in about the same amount of light as the older pixel but the new sensor is optically stabilized and has several other enhancements that make it somewhat better.
Just two shots I made the other morning: https://photos.app.goo.gl/OjgKdsv94COyGOuj2
I have to say, for a smartphone, these low-light pictures are more than you can ask for.

Hi I have two att G3s here and both have terrible color accuracy on the FFC. Is this a known issue and is there a fix? See pics below ...
Rear camera:

Front camera:
Anyone? Color is all over the place in the second pic. Blue up top, pinkish in the middle. Is this just how it is?

I took a front and back picture of my door and got a similar result. However, it be the way the light enters the sensor. I haven't noticed it previously but with the door pic, I see a little bit. Not as drastic as your shots though.
Thanks. My wife sent me some selfies of her and our son and they were terrible. I thought maybe it was weird lighting but all pics from the FFC on both phones are the same. Especially noticeable is the coldness up top which almost makes skin tones look grey at times.
At least the rear cam is amazing. I'm surprised this FFC issue isn't talked about.

Natural lighting through closed blinds from behind the shot. Top is FFC, Bottom is Rear.
Gave up on trying to get the exact same angle.
Interesting. The effect is not as strong on yours but your rear camera appears to have it as well.

Just noticed something. With the RFC pic I posted, on photobucket, it doesn't have the same color balance as it does through Windows Photo Viewer. I placed the Windows Photo Viewer pic right over the top of it (to make sure it was the exact same area on my monitor) and the colors are slightly different. So Photobucket itself seems to change the color balance of the photo. Making the pics I posted inaccurate...
You're beautiful and everyone knows it. That's why you take selfies. Rate this thread to express how the front-facing camera of the Huawei Nexus 6P performs. A higher rating indicates that the front camera produces fantastic results consistently.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I don't take many selfies, but this camera really shows how ugly i am.
No more for me!
Snap chat camera could be better though but thats more snapchat software.
Amazing selfie quality. The detail is amazing, and the wide angle lens is great for with friends/snapchat

I guess if you really needed to Casper is a good at fixing that.
For the vanilla experience, the stock camera app provides pretty good quality. Shame that you can't adjust, the exposure. But for the most part, I find the pictures to be really nice. There isn't much noise, especially when paired with HDR+.
The front cam is one of the best (or the best) ive ever seen.
I dont take selfies, but the cam is impressive.
...this is a thread?
Every time I take a picture with the front camera it has lines going through the picture, any ideas?

Default settings. Front and back in similar lighting.
I didn't notice any issues with indoor house lighting though I haven't tested after seeing this.
Anybody else?

Wait until you film or photograph at night... reflections of lights and flares...

I take about 1 selfie cam photo for every thousand from the back. I can deal I guess. Lol

Same here. Unfortunately the back camera at night, specially for videos, will show a lot of reflection artifacts. But I dont take many at night anyway due to the noise.
My hope is that google can make the noise in the night photos better, like the iPhone 11. Night photographs might not be as good as the pixel, but no noise and only subjects got brightened up, while the sky (and water when photographing a lake or the sea) remains dark and natural.
Liking the phone so far though...
This was taken last night. Point shoot and hold. Flares a little but this seems more than ok to me. Way better than the s10+ I came from.

99.9% of the time this is due to a dirty, oily "lens"
Generally you need only wipe the glass over the sensor with a clean, dry cloth (or your shirtsleeve provided you haven't just finished eating a pound of bacon), or a little alcohol, then a dry cloth, and they will disappear.

oops... I didn't realize this post was almost two-years old
I am getting this kind of pic in nightmode on ultrawide lens in some cases, don't know what is the issue but it doesn't happen in normal low light shot without nightmode or shot in expert raw app for the same scenes,can anyone help

This MIGHT have something to do with the lighting, if the scene is lit by a color adjustable LED and the color is being done by pulse width modulation of individual Red, Green, Blue LEDs, and the exposure times for the night mode that combines multiple exposures are a multiple of the pulse widths, you might get an effect where one or more of the colors is masked out. Not sure though.

Thanks but it looks like that since I tried every other combination of lightning and apps like expert raw this did not happen,it only happens in stock camera default night mode on so could be what you said and yes it's an led night bulb that's green in colour,attached is image I took outside with default nightmode on ultrawide and it has no distortion
My phone is 6 year old LeEco x722 with 16MP IMX298 4656x3496 and I upscaled photos taken with it to the same resolution newer phones produce released 1 or 2 years ago, and I get the exact same level of details in the photos as phones with "60 MP" IMX682 9248x6944 at 100% zoom.
I think in some articles they call this four-way pixel binning.

Another thing I noticed.. I also own Samsung Galaxy A13 (2022) and its camera sensor photos are terrible compared to any older phone with Sony IMX sensor. Samsung Galaxy photos are blurry, grainy, lacking detail and sharpness at 100% zoom and not to mention photos are cropped to 9:16 ratio and end result is just a narrow vertical photo, unless you switch to 50MP or full mode every time.
I also compared this by taking car number plates from a 100m distance. The old phone with Sony IMX had sharp details that I could tell the exact numbers and letters on a plate, but I couldn't tell it from a photo taken with Samsung Galaxy A13 due to being too blurry at 100% zoom.
Can anyone explain why it is like that?.. Is large MP number and 100% zoom resolution just a phone marketing trick and camera sensors haven't really progressed in technological advancement?
